An unhappy Lincolnshire resident has come up with a somewhat creative way to inform the council about a sizeable pothole.

The person has decided to take matters into their own hands regarding a part of Fen Road in Holbeach that needs repairing, according to The Spaldinium Facebook page.

However, rather than fill in the hole themselves, the person has elected to take an artistic approach in the hope that it will attract the attention of the highways team at Lincolnshire County Council.

The disgruntled citizen has drawn a large penis around the hole in red paint.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: "While we understand people find potholes – and other matters – frustrating, we wouldn't recommend spray painting round them as you potentially put yourself at risk of being hit by traffic.
